BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a data system and more particularly to amemorial data system for providing information regarding an object.

Background of the Invention

Memorials of persons, places or events are traditionally honored with aphysical reminder of the past. With memorials of deceased persons thecommon memorial is a tombstone, engraved, but with very limitedinformation thereon. Busts or statues of persons, both living anddeceased are often displayed to remind the visitor of the person. Again,only a limited amount of information may accompany the person'slikeness. Plaques are generally used to memorialize the significance ofa place or an event, and again, only a limited amount of information maybe displayed.

The common deficiency with these memorials is the limited amount ofinformation that may be provided to the visitor of the memorial. Asyears pass, memories of the person, place or event fades and istherefore lost to the new visitor to the memorial. The need for a systemcapable of providing an unlimited amount of information is wellestablished.

The memorial visitor must be able to easily access the informationwithout interfering with other visitors, some of whom may not beinterested in the detailed information.

The available information may be in text, audio, still photo or videoform. The information available to the visitor should be off site inorder to allow the person(s) providing the information the ability toeasily modify the available information

Some in the prior art have incorporated computer based systems withlimited success. The use of near field transmitters to trigger somesystems has also shown promise.

There have been many in the prior art who have attempted to solve theseproblems with varying degrees of success. None, however completelysatisfies the requirements for a complete solution to the aforestatedproblem. The following U.S. Patents are attempts of the prior art tosolve this problem.
